About Valencia

Famous for oranges, being the home of paella and some truly stunning modern architecture, Valencia is a fantastic place to head to if you want to get away for a couple of days. There's a dynamism here which re-energises. It's vibrant enough to be mildly chaotic, yet there's plenty of peace and beauty as well. Our selection of the best places to stay in Valencia are mainly situated in the heart of the town, close to all that it has to offer.

What not to miss:

Some of Valencia's energy is due to the massive construction projects undertaken here in the last ten years. Even if you don't have an aptitude for maths or science yourself, a visit to the City of Arts and Sciences will leave you with a very healthy respect for what man can create.

Just look at the curves on the Palacio de las Artes - that's calculus. Numbers transformed into beauty. All this makes Valencia a really fascinating destination.

This area is also where you can find many of the more modern museums.

As well as profiling the modern, Valencia also presents the historic in its best light. Valencia's old town has plenty of charm - this was once the capital of a kingdom. The old centre, the Barri del Carme, around the Cathedral, is where you can see the colourful mix of old and new.

The Cathedral itself is a hotchpotch of Gothic, Baroque and Romanesque extravagance! This is a great area to visit both day and night.

Though the locals tend to underplay it, Valencia is also right on the Med with miles of beach just a short trip from the centre of town.

Valencia is very much a city that mixes the old with the new and our selection of the best places to stay in Valencia reflect that combination.
